Body Found Outside Hogsmeade Identified
Betty Braithwaite
The unidentified and decomposed body of a young woman found several miles outside of Hogsmeade village nearly two weeks ago has been identified. Ministry representatives confirmed today that the body is that of Miss Marietta Edgecombe.
Dutiful readers of The Daily Prophet might remember that Miss Edgecombe was reported as kidnapped from Diagon Alley several months ago when she and her mother were found missing after an attack that claimed the lives of several Aurors. The Death Eater and Auror responsible for that attack was apprehended at that time. However, several sources close to the family reported later that the mother and daughter were simply on an extended holiday.
Ronald Weasley, the close friend of Harry Potter, is still being sought for questioning in this incident. Sources close to Weasley confirm that both Weasley and Potter, along with their muggleborn friend Hermione Granger, had problems with Miss Edgecombe during her time at Hogwarts. Weasley is currently at Hogwarts, where Headmistress Minerva McGonagall refuses to allow Minstry representatives to question the boy.
There is, however, cause for the family to hope that their questions will be answered, as Minister of Magic Pius Thicknesse reports that Hogwarts Headmistress is in negotiations to relinquish her position at the school. |

McGonagall Not Leaving Hogwarts
From the editor, Xenophilius Lovegood
Prior to news misrepresented this morning in another established source of information to the Wizarding public, Hogwarts Headmistress Minerva McGonagall stated unequivicolly this morning in an owl to the Quibbler offices that she is in no negotiations to reliquish her position at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and has no intentions of entering into such negotiations.
Vampire Attack in London
Alastair Freeman
Our eyes in the Muggle news world made a grim discovery early yesterday morning in downtown London where the body of a man was found in an alleyway outside of an apartment building. The man had no marks on his body other than several pinprick-sized holes on his inner arm.
Muggle reports stated that the man had simply bled to death. However, there was no evidence of internal bleeding, nor was any blood found on or around the victim. Muggle investigators are puzzled. Our team of reporters can only come to one conclusion by the lack of evidence at hand: There is a rogue vampire loose somewhere in London. We ask that everyone be cautious when traveling about after dark until this creature can be found. |
